At just 24 years old, Neel Kolhatker is one of Australia’s youngest comedians. He’s been doing stand-up comedy at clubs and theatres across the country and around the world, since he won the Class Clowns competition, at the age of 15. The comedian’s popularity grew even further when he started posting videos on his YouTube channel too.
Kolhatker has yet again returned to the Adelaide Fringe, to showcase his comedic charm and talent with us all.
Supported by Frontier Comedy, the Sydney based comedian usually focuses on relationships, differences between cultures and politics, during his shows. He regularly pulls on his own Indian heritage, while mocking well-known stereotypes, in order to aid in his hilarious punchlines.

Kolhatker is able to replicate a plethora of accents and impressions, which adds to the authenticity of his stories. He frequently personifies his take on the typical ‘white girl’, ‘Indian’ and ‘misunderstood teenager’.
During the show, he regularly involved audience members and used their personal stories as further comedic material. Kolhatker does an excellent job of relating to his millennial based followers, and always finds a way to make the whole room crack up with laughter.
Neel Kolhatker is certainly a rising star in the comedic industry, and I’m sure he’ll continue to make us laugh for many more years to come.
